I have it lowered still on stock wheels. But I want it to look sleeker in the rear. Will I have leftover holes if I put on a gt500 spoiler

hahnsolo78

Yeah, the spoiler you have has 8 holes I believe, and the stock lip only has 4. The gt500 spoiler uses the 4 hole design

Darn I was afraid of that. Maybe I could find a local willing to trade. Or ill just have to cough up the money to get it filled and painted. Or even better maybeee I could figure out some sort of stripes and make them cover the holes. Two birds with one stone.

I sanded down some carriage screws and then painted them flat black to fill up the holes till I can have the holes filled. Ive been playing with some body filler and perfecting my sanding technique. My plan is to add a new hood and quarter window louvers in the spring. When I have the hood and louvers painted I will also have the trunk redone. I will fix the holes and then have the body shop thats doing my painting re-spray the trunk lid at the same time. I called a local paint shop and I will have a half gallon of Kona Blue paint. Which should be enough to do what I want from what the body shop told me. Right now I have the GT500 spoiler painted flat black. And even though its a good look I want it painted the same color as the car.

295/30's do not have enough side wall imo.

I might just do that and fill them up with something. I don't think it would look that noticeable. Until I could fill them at least.

RobDis

Nor do they in mine either. But they are the exact same total diameter as 255/35/20's on the front. Per this website anyway.

And the roads here in Louisiana are rough on wheels and tires. But if I want to lower the car with a better suspension setup its what I have to do. I really want the better stance and suspension response and Im worried the 275/40's will rub in the rear. My only other option would be to go back to 18's or 19's. And although im not against that, these are the wheels I have now and I'm trying to make them work. I mean hey, I traded my factory wheels and tires for these wheels with $300. Meaning he gave me these wheels and $300 for mine. The two front tires were in decent shape but the rears were bald so I put the $300 into rear tires and bought 2 new ones for the fronts a week later. So total with the tires, mounting, balancing, and painting the wheels I have $450 invested in these wheels. Considering these wheels are about $370 a piece new, plus tires. I did pretty good!

White5ohh

No joke. That's not bad at all. Im still on stock wheels and tires. Im so undecided and lost as to what will fit without rubbing I have mine lowered 2" in the back I want 20's with at least a 295 in the back. But Idk if it will cause me problems being lowered 2".

RobDis

2" is low. 20's would be a hard sell with that low of a drop. I measured mine and with the current setup there is exactly 1.5" gap between the tire and fender wall with the 275/40's. So a 295/30 would be super close. If it didnt rub it probably wouldnt take much weight in the rear to cause an issue.

White5ohh

Yeah Idk what im gonna do yet. Im just gonna do some more googleing to figure out what im gonna do

White5ohh

I still wanna see those pics guys

Glenn

do you plan on driving this car everyday or will it be a weekend car only? Will you want to take it on trips?

White5ohh

Ehh its a little of both. I ha e a couple other vehicles and the all get driven equally. So basically its my daily driver but I have other things to drive if I must

White5ohh

And the occasional trips to car shows

Glenn

its just that your ride will suffer alot with a 2 inch drop. on the other hand it should turn pretty good with that 2 inch drop.

White5ohh

Yeah it does turn better any bumps or potholes and im gonna bottom out
